My Dad quit trap shooting around this time when shot got over $30. When we started shooting again in 2001, shot was $12.50. He felt like it was a great deal. Now we are back to $30+ lead. I don't see him quitting this time though.

It sure is....in 1975 I was making about $5.00 an hour and today I make about $19.00 an hour.Sooooooooo I'm getting a bargain!!!! Thats quadruple the wages which would mean I should be paying $196.00 for 18 # Red Dot and $36.00 per M of primers.The big difference is in what I now pay in taxes! So who's getting richer? and its still not enough,they want to raise the debt ceiling! Why even have a debt ceiling if its constantly being raised?I wonder how much money we gave to other countrys back in '75 and how many illegals we had back then!How much was our dollar worth in '75 compared to today! Its a sad state of affairs and I don't know if it will ever get any better.
